tried upgrading an old box from 6.4 to 6.5 to 6.6.
process worked like a charm until last upgrade loaded some firmware update and
I restarted.
hardware is a Gigabyte Celeron motherboard with an ssd and an hd. There is an
extra pci network card.
GA-J1900M-D2P micro-ITX
The system locks at this point:
> root on sd0a (drive_id.a) swap on sd0b dump on sd0b
> NMI … going to debugger
> _kernel_lock+0xa2: movl kernel_lock+0x200,%edx
> ddb{1}>
I cannot boot in safe mode as it freezes at the same point.
I can boot into bsd.rd, which I assume to be still at version 6.5
any pointers would be appreciated
regards to all
